Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visited and did the climbing and zip wire safari combination as part of my hen do.
It was a brilliant experience, our instructor (Caleb?) was fantastic - really helpful and patient with those more nervous.
Would definitely recommend to others!

My friend and I did the Zipwire Safari. The tutors were very friendly and patient and it was a relaxed experience even though I was very nervous the first time I launched myself off the top of the cliff! After that though it was all plain sailing and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately my friend was too nervous to do the high zipwires and she was offered a refund. Everyone was friendly and helpful and there is a really good cafe (which we will go to even when not doing an activity). There are some nice little walks too. I'm planning on going back to do the climbing activity.

Such a warm welcome from Adrian, Erin and Ozzy who gave my daughter a wonderful experience climbing both courses. A great balance of support and encouragement given in a friendly way with every opportunity to find your own confidence through the routes. Thank you so much!

What a fantastic activity. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Staff were really helpful and allowed you to get on with it at your own pace, no pressure. We were in a group with another family and it was such a good experience, well supported each other. We did the 3 hours and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about this activity. Go for it, absolutely amazing :)

We had an amazing time on the zip wire experience. Our group ranged in age from 49-10 and everyone really enjoyed it. It was great to do something active as a family. The instructors were great and really encouraging -particularly with my youngest. The activity offered great value for money and we will definitely visit again!

Just want to thank Ollie and the team for a great mornings activities. My two teen boys (14 & 16) and myself did the adventure zone and classic tour, basically Via Ferrata and a zip line. There was an initial quarry we traversed suitable for younger kids followed by the second quarry which was more challenging. Great fun, felt safe all the way around but certainly wasn’t a piece of cake! Great fun, couldn’t recommend enough. Ollie was a star as our instructor!!

My wife and two daughters (12 & 10 yrs old) completed the Zip wire course at Via Ferrata yesterday and we were blown away by how awesome our experience was. Our guide Lucy was amazing, taking the time to explain everything in a fun and engaging way. The setting is fantastic and the 3 different zip lines all safe and challenging. The cafe is great too. A superb way to spend the morning.

Booked the via ferrata activity for my 12y and 9y old sons. They loved every minute. Their instructor ‘Ozzy’ was absolutely brilliant with them, patient, fun and so encouraging. It has inspired them to do more climbing and we’ll definitely be back.
